Traditional A.K.A. "Someone to Love Me"
Rise Up Singing chapter: Love, p.128
G - C G / C G D - / G - C G / C D G -
I wish I had someone to love me
Someone to call me his own
Someone to sleep with me nightly
I'm weary of sleeping alone
Meet me tonight in the moonlight
Meet me tonight all alone
I have a sad story to tell you
That I'll tell by the light of the moon
Tonight is our last night together
Nearest and dearest must part
The love that has bound us together
Is shredded and torn apart
I wish I had ships on the ocean
Bind them with silver and gold
Follow the ship that he sails in
A lad only 19 years old
I wish I had wings of a swallow
Fly out over the sea
Fly to the arms of my true love
And bring him home safely to me
I'm posting a song a day from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which you may or may not know. It's a pretty invaluable resource for song leaders, and useful for anyone who likes to sing in groups. The book doesn't include the melodies to the songs, just the lyrics and some chords, so I’m trying hard to find the tunes I don’t know, learn them, and post them on YouTube for anyone to learn. That’s where these videos are hosted; the blog is just pretty packaging.
